Re^2: blessing support in new threads::shared ?

Ah. I tend to use isa(), so I've not hit that yet.

And while I've got your attention...

Might you be persuaded to make threads::shared::_id() (or something similar) a public method ? When marshalling structures/objects between threads, its nice to be able to test if something is already shared, and just pop it into a queue, rather than (de/re)constructing. I'm currently using _id(), but using an obviously private method makes me nervous.

I'm working on an update to threads::shared right now. There will be only minor changes: An update to ppport.h and improvements in the docs (notably information regarding the use of bless with shared variables). I'll add an exported function called 'is_shared' that will be an alias to '_id'. That should make it formal enough. I, too, used '_id' to test for sharing in the Object::InsideOut module, so I see this as a good addition to the module. Update: Uploaded to CPAN on 2006-02-27. Remember: There's always one more bug.
